Ok, so no to webs.com, the free version, but...?

The site itself (hosting) should run around $10/month - maybe more, depending on how large the clips are and how many downloads/month you get. The more data is transferred, the more the site costs.

A domain name (violinduchess.com, or whatever you want - that one happens to be available) is around $10/year, depending on the tld (the stuff to the right of the last dot - .com, .us, .info, etc. - the top level domain)

(You may want to buy the domain name - and maybe violinduchess.net and domainduchess.org while you're at it - while they're available, even if you won't have a site up for months. Go to http://godaddy.com/ if you want to buy any names. [You're actually buying them from ICANN - GoDaddy is just the 'retailer', but a Hershey bar is a HJershey bar].)

The expensive part is having someone develop the site for you and teach you how to run it - but that's a one-time fee, so once you pay it, you're free of it. That could run to a few thousand dollars, though, depending on exactly what you want. (Even more for really fancy stuff.) Consider it a one-time cost of doing business - and it's deductible as such. So is the few dollars you spend on the site every year. (You can probably get someone on rent-a-coder, or a similar site, who will bid $100 for the job - and you can get me to play the violin for that money. And I'll play the violin as well as they'll develop your site. [I have a tin ear.])
